The Globe here is so given to lying
and misrepresentation that we " on
der that people will have anything
to do with it. While we are not in
habit of talking ''shop'' or of our
own business matters to the public,
not believing in it, it sometimes oc-
ours that even a newspaper is
obliged to make plain statements to
ward off just such Misrepresentation
as we know the Globe, for instance,
is capable Of. That sickly and slop-
py thing has lied about our business
affairs several times and has under
taken to hold US up in false light,
all because we secured piece of
business that sheet strained every
nerve to get and failed. There was
absolutely nothing in the transac-
ti0n so far as The TINES and Chair
man Mcmillan were concerned that
the public might not know-or that
we would not, if need be, want it to
know-and which it now does know.
1t was purely and simply a business
transaction between THE TIMES and
Mr.. Mcmillan and was not violated
On the other hand what may not be
said of the Globe in the premises.
1t made bargain very much the
same-for patronage. and the chair
man did all he could for it in good
faith as did others, and at the last
end it sells out its friends and goes
over to the enemy,--it is said for
$50-or 1000 papers at Sc each.
That sickly sheet talk about "bribc.
ry"! that sheet which " makes
stagger :" for patronage, got it, and
then sold out the men who tried to
befriend it. The odorous thing
with the "band wagon" attachment
has absolutely nothing in the world
to lose and all to gain.
The latter part of last week we
made a hunting trip as far west as
Ransom City and Skunk Lake, and
although the birds had mostly gone
south, the trip itself was much en-
joyed. Ransom City has beauti-
full location in rolling section OF
Southern Sargent county-the lat
ter in fact being covered with nu.
merous buttes or detached pointed
hills making a very attractive scene
as compared with the level Red
River Valley. and with all is we'll
settled. At the city we found Louis
F. Darbellay and Frank Miksche
doing a good business at general
merchandising. They have good
big store crowded with goods and it
takes them all their time to wait
upon their customers. We enjoyed
tile hospitality Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Darbellay for a day or two. South
Of town two or three miles we found
DR.. 4. L. Taylor the dentist, 1T
work about his farm house. Mr..
Taylor has an elegant farm located
between tue buttes and has just
finished substantial and COM
frame barn and has car
penters at work on a roomy addition
to his dwelling, everything about
the place indicating thrift and pros.

does dentistry right along. not only
a paying thing to him but very
acquisition to the commu-
nifty. for we believe there are few
dentists to Doctor Taylor.
However, he had a little loss the
other night, monster prairie fire in
high wind having jumped all fire.

ahalf of wheat" for him. But then
"Doc" is prosperous and brave and
can stand it. By-the-way the house,
hold has a son three or four weeks
old, making girl and boy in the
family. Two and half miles fur
ther on south we found the beauti.
full lake with such an odious name,
and here indeed is an Interestingly
section of country. This lake does
not lack a great deal of being round
and is 4 large beautiful body of
water nesting down amid world
of hills, buttes or whatever they
may be called, wholly in the reserva-
tion. The old store put up by Jas.
Ross is very we'll stocked with goods
but is presided over by others, Mr..
and Mrs. Ross having moved away.
